Chapter 345 Chaos
Xu Damao and others understood immediately that the children must have learned from seeing the two children of the Yan family kowtow to Yan Bugui to wish him a happy new year. They must have been looking forward to someone asking them to kowtow to wish him a happy new year so that they could get red envelopes.
Several children also knew that it was unrealistic for them to hold so much money, and fifty cents pocket money was already a lot for a child, so they were still very happy to hold the money at this time.
Due to He Daqing's unexpected return, the dinner was extended to nine o'clock in the evening. Even Yu Shui was reluctant to go home. However, it was too late, so everyone had to go back to their own homes. He Daqing was arranged to live with Liang Ladi's former house and several grandchildren.
Xu Damao and Yu Shui were lying in bed chatting after exercise.
"Brother, do you think we should rent a house nearby for Dad?"
"It depends on what my father-in-law thinks. However, it's not easy to rent a house around here. Besides, isn't the small courtyard where you used to live empty? And the courtyard near the front door is also empty." Xu Damao was talking about the courtyard they had just returned from. After Yu Shui got married, she kept going back to the Siheyuan and rarely went back.
Yu Shui reached out from under the quilt and pinched Xu Damao. "The yard over there by the front door is a gift from you. I want to keep it for myself. We can ask my dad at our workplace if he's willing to go over there."
"By the way, please ask me about jobs so I can find a suitable one. If that doesn't work out, come to our branch to teach some apprentices to prepare manpower for opening a restaurant in the future." Xu Damao said.
"Okay, my dad is this old and you still don't let him go, and you still want him to help you. I will never forgive you!" Yu Shui dived directly into Xu Damao's bed with his fangs and claws, and then bursts of strange sounds were heard.
Yu Shui was naturally not dissatisfied with Xu Damao, but was grateful that he cared about his father and rewarded Xu Damao in various ways!
The night passed quickly, and the three-year holiday on the first day of the first lunar month was over. Many people with jobs went to work, and Xu Damao also had to go to the factory to be on duty.
At this time, the superiority of the workers in the steel rolling mill was revealed. You just go to work, we still have two days of vacation, which was fought for by our Director Xu.
Jia Zhang was sleeping soundly on the kang when she felt an itch on her arm. She closed her eyes and scratched it a few times, wanting to continue sleeping, but the feeling still lingered.
She sat up and saw that she had some small red spots on her arms. Jia Zhang scratched them for a while until they stopped itching, then she lay down and fell asleep. She thought they were just ordinary little bumps and didn't take them seriously at all.
In fact, Jia Zhang ate too much roast chicken last night, and most of the chicken went into her stomach. Qin Huairu and the two children didn't eat much, so their reactions were far less intense than Jia Zhang's.
After Xu Damao arrived at the factory, he organized the people who returned to the factory that day and divided them into groups to inspect the equipment in the factory, check for damage and wear of the equipment, etc.
This inspection did find a lot of problems, which were recorded one by one and are waiting to be dealt with after the start of work. In fact, they have too few people now and can't handle all the problems.
After a busy day, Xu Damao went to the tavern in Qianmen with Shazhu's family to wish Cai Quanwu a happy new year. At this time, Xu Huizhen had given birth to a daughter for Cai Quanwu, and the family lived very well, but it seemed that she had never given birth to a son.
Cai Quanwu entertained them in the backyard of the tavern, and was very happy to hear that He Daqing would live in the old city in the future.
The two brothers were so happy that they drank too much. In the end, Sha Zhu called a chartered car to send He Daqing back.
During the dinner, Yu Shui also mentioned that He Daqing should live in her courtyard near the Commercial Bureau. But who would have thought that He Daqing would not agree to it, saying that he would not go anywhere since his son and daughter were in the courtyard, and he would pay back what he owed Sha Zhu and Yu Shui. He was also willing to live with several children, and in his words, it was called enjoying the happiness of family.
Yu Shui didn't force it, living in the same courtyard was more convenient. But Xu Damao felt a little uncomfortable. He used to be close to Cai Quanwu, but now he was a generation younger than him. Who wouldn't be depressed? But this wasn't the time to talk about this.
In a blink of an eye, it was the official working day. Xu Damao submitted some problems found by his team during the inspection to Li Huaide, and he could now be a hands-off boss.
On this day, Xu Damao was looking at documents boredly in the office of the branch factory when Section Chief Liu, who was in charge of logistics, knocked on the door and walked in.
"Factory Director." Section Chief Liu called out.
This Section Chief Liu was a deputy section chief in the logistics department of the steel rolling mill. He was quite efficient in his work, so Xu Damao took a fancy to him and transferred him here. Now there are still many cadres transferred from the main factory in this branch factory.
"Chief Liu, please sit down first. Do you have something to talk to me about?" Xu Damao immediately stood up and made two cups of tea and placed them on the coffee table.
"I just got some new tea, try it and see how it tastes."
"Good tea. I've heard that your tea is the best in the entire steel mill. It really lives up to its reputation."
Xu Damao took out another cigarette and blew out a smoke ring, saying, "Tell me what happened specifically."
"Director, this is what's going on. When our factory was recruiting before, there were more young people. Now most of them have reached the age to get married. Recently, many people have come to me to inquire about housing. But our factory was established not long ago, and we haven't been allocated housing." Section Chief Liu said with a bitter face.
Xu Damao also frowned after hearing this. When they were recruiting people, most of them were young people in their teens. After a few years, they would be of marriageable age.
"How were such problems resolved in the past?" Xu Damao asked.
"There are never enough houses. Generally speaking, high-ranking officials live in tube-shaped buildings, while lower-ranking officials live in more spacious houses. Ordinary workers often live together with their families, which is really inconvenient after getting married."
Hearing him say this, he remembered the time when Jia Dongxu just got married and a bunch of young boys went to eavesdrop. At that time, Jia Dongxu was in the bridal chamber, and Jia Zhang was guarding outside, so they returned empty-handed. It was not specifically to prevent them from eavesdropping, but because the room was limited, it was inconvenient for Jia Zhang to be inside.
"Later, when there are vacancies in houses, they are given priority to those who need them most. The standard is generally calculated based on the per capita housing area."
"Is there no one who uses the back door?"
Section Chief Liu touched his head and said nothing. This kind of thing happens everywhere.
"You know that housing has always been tight in our city. You don't have the final say on this matter, and neither do I. Let me talk to Director Li and Director Wang this afternoon to see if there is any solution," said Xu Damao.
"Okay, then I'll trouble the factory director." After Section Chief Liu finished speaking, he left the office without any further delay.
